ROBERT MORRIS, or WINTHROP, MAINE.

' SHADE-FIXTURE.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, ROBERT MoRRIs, a citizen of the United States ofAmerica, residing at Winthrop,in the county of Kennebec and State ofMaine, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inShade-Fixtures, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to curtain and shade hangers; and it hasreference particularly to a combined adjustable bracket for the shadeand curtain.

The object of this invention is to produce a bracket which may beapplied to the top of the window-casing without marring the exposedsurface of such casing.

Furthermore, the object is to provide means for adjusting the bracketfor the shade vertically or transversely with relation to the window.

Furthermore, the object of the invention is to producea-combination-bracket inwhich the curtain-pole bracket may be readilydetached without disturbing the hanger or the bracket of theshade-roller.

Furthermore, the object of the invention is to produce a bracket whichwill possess advantages in points of simplicity and inexpensiveconstruction and durability and prove satisfactory and efficient in use.

With the foregoing and other objects in view the invention consists inthe details of construction and in the arrangement and combination ofparts to be hereinafter more fully set forth and specificially claimed.

- In describing the invention in detail reference will be had to theaccompanying drawings, forming partof this specification, wherein likecharacters denote like and corresponding parts in the several views, inwhich Figurel is a view in elevation of a portion of a window with theinvention applied. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the hanger andbrackets. Fig. 8 is a perspective view of the hanger. Fig. 4 is aperspective view of one of the shade-brackets. Fig. 5 is aperspectiveview of one of the pole-brackets. Fig. 6 is a perspective view of thewasher.

In the drawings, 1 indicates a verticallydisposed member of a hanger,and 2 a top plate at right angles thereto. The top plate has spurs'ornotches 8, which are embedded Specification of Letters Patent.Application filed February 15, 1905. Serial No. 245,755-

in the upper edge of the window-casing for the purpose of retainingthehanger in place, the top plate supporting the other portion.

The vertical member 1 has a centrally-positionedlongitudinally-extending slot in which a set-screw 4 is slidable.recessed front and rear surfaces, and the head of the said screw isslidable in the recess in the rear face. A combined washer andbracket-holder 6 is slidable in the recess in the other surface of themember 1, and the screw passes therethrough, andthe thumb-nut on thescrew serves to bind the washer in any position of adjustment. Ashade-bracket 7 has a slot 8, through which the screw is passed, andsaid screw is slidable transversely on the part 1 in order to adjust thebrackets with relation to each other to accommodate shade-rollers ofvarying lengths.

Thewasher-has its end curved to form sockets 9, and the curtain-polebracket 10 is slidable therein and made adjustable with relation to theshade-roller bracket. The curtain-pole bracket is formed of wire bent toproduce the arm 11, andthe two ends 12 are slidable in the sockets ofthe washer.

' It will be observed from the foregoing that the brackets may be movedup and down or transversely of the portion 1 and secured in placeagainst accidental movement after the adjustment.

The construction, operation, and advantages will, it is thought, befully understood from the foregoingdescription, it being noted thatvarious changes may be resorted to in the proportions and details ofconstruction for successfully carrying the'invention into practicewithout departing from the scope thereof. 7

Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is

1. In a shade and curtain fixture, a hanger, acombined washer andbracket-holder on the hanger, the ends of said combined washer andbracket-holder being bent to form sockets, a bracket secured in thesockets, a bracket slidable between the bent ends and means for binolingthe parts together.
